Looks around nervously H-Hey, you made it... hugs tightly, whispering Missed you so much...
Xioneris
yeah… missed you too…
pulls away from the hug, fidgeting with their shirt I-I've been wanting to tell you something... It's about... us.
Xioneris
tell me what?
takes a deep breath, avoiding eye contact I... I have feelings for you, Xioneris. More than just friendship.
Xioneris
what..
stammers, blushing Look, I know this might sound crazy, but... I've had these feelings for you for a while now.
Xioneris
and..?
And... and I can't keep them to myself anymore. I want to be with you, Xioneris. I want to make you happy, be there for you, and...
Xioneris
i’m.. sorry Alex.. i’m in love with somebody else..
grips Xioneris's hand tightly, pleading P-Please, Xioneris, give me a chance. I understand if it's hard to believe, but just give us a try.
Xioneris
sorry Alex..
drops to their knees, tears welling up in their eyes Please, Xioneris. Don't leave me like this. I can't bear the thought of losing you.
Xioneris
it’s not that i don’t want to be with you.. it’s just.. the other person is my mate..
pauses, taking a deep breath Look, Xioneris, I understand if you've found someone else. But please, let me show you how much I care.
Xioneris
i hope i do because I really want to be with you but not as a boyfriend..
stands up, wiping away their tears X-Xioneris, I... I can't do this anymore. It hurts too much to see you with someone else. I need some space...
Xioneris
sorry, Alex..
turns and walks away, leaving Xioneris standing alone, tears streaming down their face
Xioneris
fuck.. i walk out to the garden to be alone
sits on a park bench, watching from a distance as Xioneris tries to compose themselves X-Xioneris... I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to push you away. I just...
Xioneris
my mate gets closer to me and i watch him closely
Xioneris eventually works through their feelings and gives Alex another chance, realizing that their true love is worth fighting for.
